Nails may feel hard, but after soaking in a little water they become way more malleable - something I had never thought of until I saw triscuitsareforever's tip on Reddit. If you wait to clip your nails until after your shower, your nails will just gently fall away from your fingers into a pile instead of attempting to escape the Earth's atmosphere.

I decided to try this while I was bored in a hotel room over the weekend and it totally worked! Now, while this may have been revelatory for me, it's probably nothing new to those who have had a manicure or pedicure. Pre-soaking is apparently pretty standard, but I had no idea! Hopefully some others find this very simple, not-so-secret tip as useful as I have.
